Ordinarily, the square type of house with Its plain hip roof is rather commonplace in its appearance, even though it is hardly ever beaten in the matter of space economy and convenience of room arrangement. The question arises Can the square-typ- e house be treated In such a manner as to easily give it a distinctive appearance without excessive cost?" The question is most easily answered by reference to the several methods which may be followed In finishing the walls of the building. This subject covers a wide variety of effects which may be obtained in adjusting the color, texture and pattern of the wall surface to bring out Just the character desired. There is still the possibility of varying slightly from the plain rectangular outline of plan, such that the room ar-- ' rangement is not disturbed, yet the appearance Is altered to conform with the owners ideas. As an example, the perspective view accompanying shows a house of the seat The reception hall also communicates with the kitchen by way of a small hall in which a door Is placed leading to tie grade entry. The basement is handy to the kitchen through this small hall. The dining room is a pleasant room in which a harmonising buffet has been built beneath the center window In the rear wall. The four bedrooms on the second floor are generous in size and are arranged so that the bedroom furniture will fit in to the best advantage. Each bedroom has a closet and there are two small closets on the hnll, which extends from the stairs across the house and back to the dow bathroom. The exterior of the house is finished in a very novel style. The first floor is finished with rough boards and battens, the main surface being finished with a stain and the trim being painted white. Above the second floor window sills, the walls are finished with stucco, timbered after the English style. The timbering is worked out to BROOKLYNS CLEVER 80UTHPAW PITCHER. ' The next thing Rube Mnrquard, maker of records, will shoot for is the record of Jack Coombs, who in 1900 won the longest major league game ever played. Rube, however, could retire from baseball tomorrow with more records than any baseball pitcher ever achieved. In 1012 Rube tied Tim Keefe's old record by winning 19 straight, and in 1914 he pitched the longest National league game- ever fought up to that time, defeating Pittscontest.

A third method is to follow the wall up above the concrete with face brick backed with hollow tile. The hip roof of this house is built with wide cornices having the ends of the rafters exposed. The slope of the roof is broken, just above the cornices, into a more gentle slope, which gives the roof an appearance of gracefulness.
